Rusty's view of what a technician is
The psychology behind the words.

Happy Tuesday everyone. Today we are taking a look at how VW clock springs fail. I actually did a video a LONG time ago about how clock springs work. Today, we take a deeper look at the failure of this part. The clock spring is the key to connecting the electronics in the steering wheel to the body of the car. Cars of today have much more to control on the steering wheel than just the horn. We need to have a part capable on handling that.
Join me today as we break it down:
What does the clock spring do?
How does the clock spring look?
How does the clock spring fail?
Signs of clock spring failure
Diagnosing a bad clock spring
DIY or No DIY?
There is no common mileage/time of failure
and more

Fake engine noises and fake exhaust tips are on many modern cars. Today I will show you how fake noises are added to a car, what the system ACTUALLY sounds like, and how to disable the Soundaktor on MK7.5 Golf R. This will apply to other VWs as well. Turning the Soundaktor down, or off will give you an idea of what the car actually sounds like. We also output test the Soundaktor because it sounds cool. #humblemechanic #howto #DIY
